The true danger of the spider bite stems from misdiagnosis and resultant delay in proper treatment of entities that, unlike spider bites, are not self-limited. Obtaining a complete exposure and travel history is central to the development of an accurate and appropriate differential diagnosis.

is a vector-borne zoonotic bacterium that causes tularemia, a disease of great importance for animal and public health. Although wild lagomorphs are considered one of the major reservoirs of this bacterium, information about the circulation of in European wild rabbit () and Iberian hare () populations in Europe is still very limited. In Spain, is present in northern central regions, with recurrent outbreaks occurring annually.

Key statistics on zoonoses and zoonotic agents in humans, food, animals and feed are provided and interpreted historically. In 2023, the first and second most reported zoonoses in humans were campylobacteriosis and salmonellosis, respectively.

Article Synopsis
- - Tularemia is an infectious disease that requires ongoing monitoring of both human and animal cases, along with tracking the pathogen in natural environments to effectively prevent and control outbreaks.
- - The disease is caused by a bacterium with three different subspecies, and researchers have created a new real-time PCR test that can accurately detect these subspecies and identify where they’re spreading.
- - The new PCR assay has been rigorously tested for accuracy and sensitivity, with very low limits of detection, enhancing tularemia surveillance efforts in Kazakhstan by allowing for direct detection of the pathogen in various samples.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF), which is a tick-borne viral disease, and aims to examine the presence of specific bacterial infections among individuals who are suspected of having CCHF in Iran.
- Researchers analyzed 260 serum samples from patients who tested negative for CCHF virus, finding 3.46% positive for brucellosis and 3.07% for Q fever, while no borreliosis or ehrlichiosis cases were detected.
- The findings suggest that bacterial infections like brucellosis and Q fever should be considered when diagnosing CCHF, and further broad investigations into bacterial infections with similar symptoms are recommended.
